Additionally,introducing grade school, middle school, and high school students to computer science without acomputer lab seems impossible. The activities presented in this paper do not require a computerlab and can be done with a range of age groups, any number of people, and people with no priorcomputer experience. The goal is to introduce various topics using fun physical activities andeveryday experiences that are familiar

. Collaboration is a vital skill for all students, across the spectrum. For example, thechallenge by Prince [12] for engineering faculty to promote collaboration in their classes isexplicitly required by the accrediting agency for engineering programs [14]. Collaboration isspecifically linked to the engineering curriculum via two of the 11 required student outcomes: (1)the ability to function on multidisciplinary teams and (2) the ability to communicate effectively[14]. Employers also desire graduates who can collaborate on teams; however, they reportstudents are not well prepared in this area [15]. Engineering graduates of a large publicuniversity reported in an extensive survey the most important ABET competencies for theirprofessional practice were

There is a recognized need for research that more broadly explores undergraduateresearch experiences [3] considering their potential impact on individual students, institutions,and the engineering disciplines.For individual students, there are potential benefits in the form of professional competencydevelopment, persistence, self-efficacy, and GPA [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], [10], [11].

All difficulties in concepts have been researchedand presented below from a student’s learning point of view.Modern computational focus requires mastery of analytical thoughts to properly understand andimprove computational models. There are some mathematical bottlenecks in achieving this featwhich are discussed separately in another paper [4].

A notable alternative to this approach would be to store the informationrelated to the topics covered in the course, with discussion of key issues, illustrative example problems, andstimulating exercises in an organized and visually attractive multimedia format on a computer that is accessibleby students from virtually any where at any time. With the eagerness students show in using computers, attempts should be made to channel that interestin a way that is educationally most beneficial to them. Various methods to enhance engineering education bythe use of multimedia-based programs have been explored in the past. Unfortunately, the practice is still notwide spread in the higher-education
